When solving T(x,y)=0, separation of variables says: try T(x,y) = X(x) Y(y) i)  Just for practice, invent some function T(x,y) that is manifestly of this form. (Don’t worry about whether it satisfies Laplace's equation, just make up some function!) What is your X(x) here? What is Y(y)? ii) Just to compare, invent some function T(x,y) that is definitely NOT of this form. Challenge questions: 1) Did your answer in i) satisfy Laplace’s eqn? 2)  Could our method (separation of variables) ever

FIND your function in part ii above?

When solving T(x,y)=0, separation of variables says try T(x,y) = X(x) Y(y). We arrived at the equation f(x) + g(y) = 0 for some complicated f(x) and g(y)

∇2

Invent some function f(x) and some other function g(y) that satisfies this equation. Challenge question: In 3-D, the method of separation of variables would have gotten you to f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0. Generalize your “invented solution” to this case.

completely undetermined parameter C)  No, there are two very different solutions, and we

Last class we got to a situation where we had two totally unknown/unspecified functions a(x) and b(y), All we knew was that (for all x and all y) a(x) + b(y) = 0

What can you conclude about these functions?

A)  Really not much to conclude (except b(y)=-a(x) ! ) B)  Impossible, it’s never possible to solve this equation! C)  The only possible solution is the trivial one,

a(x)=b(y)=0 D)  a(x) must be a constant, and b(y)= -that constant. E)  I conclude something else, not listed!
